In the second half, St Clair and Taylor-Crossdale hit target in the 50th and 72nd minute respectively before a fine individual goal by Benson reduced the gloss on the scoreline.
Olowu lasted the distance, Omole replaced Bola in the 69th minute while Okonkwo and Chelsea number 14 Tariq Uwakwe remained on the bench.
